great, thanks. didn't know and wanted to make sure. again, thanks a lot. stacie

:?: :?: got some "mystery" snails with a starter bunch of plants online and need to know if i need to feed them and how often. there are 3 of them. in separate tanks with 1 betta each. keep the tanks pretty clean, and bought some algae disks to break up since they are not large snails. how...

Sorry :oops: it was liveaquaria.com. German drinking water. WOW!! :D Okay, well, thanks a lot. And I will go ahead and get some. They sound like pretty neat little squirts from what I've been able to find out. Acclimate them just like any other fish, I suppose. I will anyway, but yeah...

I went on a website called aqualife.com and the profile for the oto said a MINIMUM 30 gallon tank and major aeration. Is that true? I wouldn't be able to get a bigger tank or a bigger filtration system. Already trying to fix the 10 gallon filter so it doesn't push the bettas all over the place.

Well, you need to see it. It's a little corny (the 70's!!) but it's a good movie. The horse they used for the movie was dyed black. It lived here in San Antonio until he passed away. His name was Cas'ole. Know I didn't spell it right, but that's the best I can do. The people that owned him...

Why is it called a mystery snail? Did it work out okay with keeping the algae down? Stacie :)

Well, thanks to all of you. I was worried about overstocking and them getting along. We had fish when I was very small, but other than that I just recently started pursuing my interest in aquariums. Just really like the bettas and don't have a lot of room right now. Would one day like to...

Okay. Thanks a lot. I'll check around and get 3 then. I plan on keeping the tank pretty clean so I'll wait to see if I need anything else when the time comes. Again, Thanks. :) Stacie :D

Are they fairly easy to find? I would like to get one for each section. Would I be overstocked with 3 bettas and 3 of those? Do they stay small? Thanks for the suggestion. :) Stacie :D

Can anyone recommend an algae eater that would be compatible with my bettas? I will have 3 in a divided 10 gallon tank. Lots of what I'm assuming is algae already on live plants I've got in there. Any suggestions? Thanks :) Stacie :wink:

Not to sound ignorant or anything, but what breed is that? Or do you mean Canadian bred TB's? Do you follow racing at all? I do, but just because that was my way of getting close to them with the job and all. I always liked them. Read all the Black Stallion books and still have them all up...

Really? What breed(s) are you looking at? I like all of them and would take a swaybacked nag if someone offered, but my favorites are Thoroughbreds and Arabians. Good luck on finding one. Experts say they have the intelligence of 4 or 5 year old children. Which is pretty darn smart. I know...

Thanks. She just emailed me that she's shipping on Tuesday. Only a couple more days. Can't wait to get them!! Keep going to the site to look at them. It's almost as exciting as watching horses. I love them too. Don't own one unfortunately. I've wanted one since I was about 4 years old...

It just trickles into the tank from a little spout type thing. I think that after I get the tank full when the fish arrive it won't cause much current at all. Also got the distilled water. I think I should have gotten 3 gallons instead of 2 though. Test strip still shows hard. Down from...

Do you think I'm worrying too much about the water? I've had it set up for about a week and a half and I check the nitrates, nitrites, alkalinity, hardness and ph 3 or 4 times a day. Am I being a little anal do you think? I just want to be careful since these aren't pet store fish. I felt so...
